The book s full of easy to perform wonders accomplished with small folded pieces of card. It’s origami-style magical mystery inspired by Robert E. Neale’s original Trapdoor Card. Robert has even contributed a Foreword and material of his own. What a thrill this was for me. The creator of the original concept lending spirited support to this new work.

Here’s a little tease from the book’s back cover:

“In his explorations of the familiar “Trap Door” concept, Ben Harris stands on the shoulders of such inventive luminaries as Robert Neale, David Britland, Terri Rogers, Nick Brown, et al. to discover another mountain of exploration, discovery and application. When Nick Brown introduced his popular “Wonderland Bill” version of Neale’s “Trap Door” principle, he was paving the way to what Harris has presented here: a very creative outpouring of art design and method for achieving what most magicians will agree is one of the strongest presentational angles, that is to say, magic that takes place in the hands of the spectators.

Your audience participants will feel astonishment as Houdini escapes from chains while being held by them, and marvel as they are transported ten light-years in ten seconds as a two-dimensional plane is warped in spacetime. They will enter safes and retrieve the money, discover pirate treasure and make off with the gold, and so very much more! The real gold here is in the highly detailed presentations that accompany the unique and colorfully creative art pieces. These are made available for you to copy and use in accordance with the easy-to-understand instructions provided with each meticulously designed effect. Be prepared to entertain with little more than a slip of paper in your pocket and deliver strong magic with no sleight-of-hand or tricky moves – magic that will baffle and be talked about long after you are off to your next gig.

Magicians will enjoy Ben Harris’ signature out-of-the-box thinking here, with presentation angles so strong that Robert Neale himself has contributed to this treatise in celebration of the new life breathed into his concepts. Enjoy!”
